About School of Choice

Every parent wants to find the best educational path for their child—a place where they can thrive, grow, and reach their full potential. At Colorado Springs School District 11, we believe in offering parents and students the power of choice. With a wide range of unique schools, D11 gives you the freedom to choose a learning environment that best fits your child’s passions, strengths, and dreams.

• Find the Right Fit for Your Child’s Future
  • In D11, you’re not limited to your neighborhood school. If you’re interested in exploring specialized options, you can submit a Choice Open Enrollment Application to any of our schools. Explore schools near you.
• Discover Diverse Learning Pathways
  • From hands-on STEM experiences and rigorous International Baccalaureate (IB) programs to immersive Dual Language pathways, District 11 offers a wealth of educational choices designed to spark curiosity and foster success.
    • Explore D11 Pathways: Unique programming provides students with diverse opportunities to explore their interests, gain hands-on experience, and build real-world skills for future success. 
    • Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs: We offer many options that prepare students for careers and college, with opportunities to earn college credits along the way!
